"Put the Needle on It" is a song performed by Australian singer Dannii Minogue, which was written by Minogue, Mathias Johansson, Henrik Korpi and Karen Poole for Minogue's fourth album Neon Nights (2003). It is the opening track, and was released as its lead single on 4 November 2002. It reached the top twenty on the Australian, Irish and United Kingdom Singles Charts. In the UK it also topped the club charts. In 2003, it was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association indicating shipment of 35,000 units.

"Put the Needle on It" is a dance-pop song which received mixed reviews from music critics, and its musical style was compared to United States pop singer, Madonna. Its music video, directed by Miikka Lommi, features Minogue in a studio surrounded with colourful neon lights and spinning on a human-sized record player.

In 2002, Minogue began writing and recording material for her fourth album, Neon Nights (2003), with Mathias Johansson (aka Mathias Wollo), Henrik Korpi, and previous collaborator Karen Poole in , Sweden. During one of their sessions, they wrote "Put the Needle on It", a song about sex. Minogue was determined to compose a dance music song to thank United Kingdom DJs. They had accepted her into that genre following the success of her previous year's single, "Who Do You Love Now?". In the UK, it is difficult for artists to be accepted into the dance music scene because DJs are usually not "interested in pop artists calling themselves dance artists because they've done one remix of their song".
